Phoenix would be the last stage
Hmm... i wonder why you say so.
whereas phoenix is the rebirth, eagle is more like the result after the process of rebirth.
SYMBOL DICTIONARY STATES:
The Eagle is the universal emblem of the gods of the sky.
The cosmic eagle is a symbol of the highest aspirations of the spirit, and its triumph over the carnal nature.
This is why the eagle is so often depicted in combat with serpents or bulls
creatures who symbolize earthly desire (bull)
or evil (serpents).
It is most often a solar symbol, but sometimes it is thunder or lightning
The divine eagle is often a hybrid or transformed man, often a king or hero of great virtue.
Astrologically, the eagle is the highest aspect of the sign Scorpio
its lower aspect is a serpent.
Man, Bull, Lion and Eagle, all these represent the four Fixed signs and the four Elements, Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and ScorpioOf all the non-zodiac (or parazodiac) constellations, Aquila (the Eagle) represents the United States of America, after all our national bird is the bald eagle. Just above Sagittarius (the US' natal chart ascendant) and Capricorn, Aquila's brightest star Altair is of astrological significance when a planet plus the Sun or Moon is below it on the ecliptic.
Scorpio has an "eagle" portion, as well a "lizard" or "snake" and "phoenix". Each portion will be different in personality, character and life experiences. My own sign Aquarius would vary, like the 0-9 degrees aren't the same like my 20-29 degrees (my sun at 26, Moon at 20). What's interesting is my Uranus is in Scorpio (25 deg), located near it's stinger or tail.
